Swift's description of these groups of people reinforces the hypocrisy of Irish society. That's because Swift shows how businessmen, religious people, people considered good and progressive, who promote the advancement of society, are the main culprits for the terrible situation that the poor had to face. In addition to not worrying about the neediest, Swift shows how these citizens judge the poor, do not help them and treat them as a problem, which shows that they are not good people, but hypocrites who only care about themselves.
